Project: Little Men


ENGAGEMENT DETAILS
Little Men’s director, Ira Sachs (Love Is Strange, Keep The Lights On), was already honing the final elements of the script as
well as working on initial casting options when he began to seek financing for the film.

The production teams at Faliro House (Before Midnight, The Lobster) and Parts & Labor (The Witch, Beginners) partnered
with Buffalo 8 to secure the financing needed, and the film went into production in Summer 2015.

DELIVERY DETAILS
Contributing to the picture on both a creative and executive level, the Buffalo 8 team successfully delivered the film’s financ-
ing requirement, allowing production to begin on schedule.

Buffalo 8 also invested equity capital and secured the picture’s debt financing via sister company, BondIt.

Little Men premiered at Sundance in January 2016 and within 24 hours had bids from Magnolia Pictures, Netflix and A24.

Picked up by Magnolia Pictures, Little Men opened theatrically across the US in Summer 2016. The film is represented inter-
nationally by Mongrel Media.

“
“It’s time to realize that Ira Sachs is a modern master. Little Men, with its two boys racing at life with the brick wall of ma-
turity still at a distance, is truly an exhilarating gift.”
